Ivan Šimonović (; born 2 May 1959) is a Croatian diplomat, politician and law scholar. In October 2008 he was appointed Justice Minister of Croatia. On May 3, 2010, Šimonović was appointed UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights. ==Biography== Šimonović graduated from the University of Zagreb Law School in 1982. He obtained a doctoral degree in 1990, at the age of 31.〔 Šimonović joined Croatian diplomacy after the break-up of Yugoslavia. He was an assistant to Foreign Minister Mate Granić during the 1990s, although he never joined the ruling party, the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). In 1997, Croatian President Franjo Tuđman named him ambassador to the United Nations. Šimonović served there until 2002. While serving there, Šimonović presided over the United Nations Economic and Social Council. In 2002 he became Deputy Foreign Minister in Ivica Račan government. Again, he didn't join the ruling party, SDP. However, when HDZ swung back to power in 2003, Šimonović was not offered a job in the new government. In 2004, Šimonović became a professor at the University of Zagreb Law School, where he teaches general theory of law and state and international relations. Šimonović was appointed Minister of Justice-designate of Croatia by PM Ivo Sanader on October 6, 2008. His predecessor, Ana Lovrin, had resigned the same day following a series of unsolved assaults and murders linked to Croatian organized crime that culminated with the murder of Ivana Hodak, daughter of a controversial Croatian lawyer Zvonimir Hodak.〔 However, Ivana Hodak was later found to have been murdered as part of a retaliation of a homeless man to Zvonimir Hodak. In May 2010 Šimonović was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivan Šimonović」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
